Tardebigge Farm

This time a very quick sketch (took my bike this time).

Tardebigge Farm

Just bought an Alwyn Crawshaw book (2nd hand) entitled The Half Hour Painter. Thought I'd have a go. Drove along to a spot on one of my usual cycle routes whilst Miles was at karate and tried my hand. Took a bit longer than half an hour though!

Good Friday Bike Ride

The late snow we have had had pretty much cleared and we woke up to a sunny first day of the Easter Hols. So I decided to go on one of my favourite cycle rides - Belbroughton, Chaddesley Corbett and Rushock.

First sketch was done sitting at back of Holy Trinity Church at Belbroughton.
Second one is of one of my favourite pubs - The Talbot at Chaddesley Corbett.

Sun went in after Chaddesley stop so most of the return journey wes done with numb fingers - ouch!

Steven Gerrard

As I had decorated Dom's bedroom, I thought it would be nice to try and do a Liverpool picture for his wall. Much as I hate copying anything other than my own photos, I found this picture of Steven Gerrard on the Internet. The first is the second stage of the pastel painting and the later one is the fourth. Looks more like Prince Charles in a Liverpool kit to me!

A little horse!

Kenilworth Castle

Bec had to do a risk assessment recci. I snatched 15 min. Very cold but I had a coffee to warm me up.

Life class

I attended a life drawing session - my first one. Very hard!

Very old paintings from my sketchpad
